How big is the Ubiq community right now? I've read that the recent voting had the partecipation of over 50% of the community, so I guess there are exact numbers about the size of this community.

The Discord channel has close to 5000 members with around 2000 verified users. The recent votes have all had strong polling results although it is done per address and not per person so one could have many addresses, I have more than a few myself. The actual amount people interested would be an interesting calculation.

We have been working directly with beta testers to ensure that the functionality is well tested before we go for the launch. We are currently working on improving the ban hammer logic, improving the user experience and adding is some back end tweaks.

I've tried for the first time to store UBQ on my Ledger wallet, but after having clicked on Connect to Ledger Wallet on pyrus.ubiqsmart.com, nothing happens. Windows doesn't pop up.I've read instructions here:https://support.ledgerwallet.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005459725-Ubiq-UBQ-but they don't work for meI'm having 1.4.2 Firmware on Ledger and the Ubiq app installed through Ledger Live is 1.1.7. Inside Ubiq app the settings don't have any "browser support" option, BTW.What now?

I dont use that method to store my coins but there are lots of folks in the Discord chat that can help sort you out within a few mins in the #help channel. https://discord.gg/3Ufzp9U

I've discovered Ubiq only recently and so I've missed the Escher airdrop. So if I understand well I won't be able to take part to community voting. Will there be new airdrops for new holders in future?

Two possible problems I can think of:

Using Ledger with a browser apparently only works with Chrome and chromebased browsers (i.e. Chromium, I haven't tried Brave yet). Firefox does not work. I never tried Internet Explorer/Edge, so no idea whether they'd work.

Do you use Linux? I had a bit of struggle with Ledger on Linux, because you need some library(Btchip something, via Python) to get it to work. But considering that you have Ledger Live and it connects to the device, I'd imagine missing dependencies are not such a big issue…?

So let me get all this info straight... Hard fork on Nov 21st (block 660'000). New algo (Ubqhash), new miner (Ubqminer) and presumably new wallet as well (is there a core wallet?).

Sounds all very interesting, any indication of hashrates for the most usual GPUs anywhere? Any pool connected to testnet I could have a look at?

The core wallet Fusion can be used and will work flawlessly and if an update is required it is pushed to the wallet as a notification of upgrade. Feel free to use this or Pyrus as they will have no issues navigating the fork. The testnet can be utilized if you wish to tweek your rigs. We do have many pools UIP1 ready so you can set up with UBQminer now and start hashing. It will handle the fork on its own hands free.

Hashrates are being reported as within 1-2 mh of what they are currently using if not identical. I am running UBQminer and have seen 0 reduction on my two 1070s. Plus no dev fee so that is a bit more profitable.

I believe there are three more airdrops at a 1:1 ratio. I might suggest looking into OTC trades or I believe ERC20 exchange has listed this token. There will not be any active solicitation of listing this token as it is not intended for that purpose. It is a voting mechanism.
